BASTURMA - air-dried red deer, which is a special and exclusive product not only for its flavor, aroma, traditions and methods of consumption, but also for the history of origin, which reaches 95-45 years BC. when Armenia was ruled by powerful king TIGRANES THE GREAT. He expanded his possessions from the Black to the Mediterranean Sea. Crafts developed, the culture of the country grew up. Caravans from Armenia traveled to the far countries. Armenian merchants even traded with China and India. Exhausting trips lasted for months. They could take along any food except meat. It became rotten in just a few days. Then the technology of curing meat appeared - salting and drying. This technology both allowed meat to stay fresh during long trips and surprised people from the farness with its taste. Armenians call this dish “Basturma”.
